My Take
For me, Liza Weil is a masterclass in the art of the scene-stealing supporting role. Her fast-talking, fiercely driven Paris Geller on Gilmore Girls remains unforgettable, and she carried that intensity into Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, often outshining the leads. What I admire most is her staying power: more than two decades of steady, high-quality work without ever needing the conventional star trajectory. She is the kind of grounded professional who holds a drama's structure together with sheer craft. Performers like her are the real backbone of television, and it is easy to see why she endures.
Overview
